نیو یارک, نیو یارک (جنوری 10, 2018) — وکٹری اسپورٹس & Entertainment’s highly-touted Junior Welterweight fighter Sonny “پیارے لڑکے” Fredrickson (18-0,12 کوس) is slated to make his SHOWTIME debut on جمعہ, جنوری 12 when he faces off against Shohjahon Ergashev in the telecast opener of ShoBox: نئی نسل پر جمعہ, جنوری. 12 شو ٹائم پر رہتے ہیں (10 بجے. AND/PT) ویرونا میں پتھر حربے جوئے بازی کے رخ سے, N.Y..
Fredrickson will square off against the Uzbekistani Ergashev (11-0, 11 کوس) in a telecast headlined by two-time Olympian Gold Medalist Claressa Shields (4-0, 2 KO کی) as she defends her WBC and IBF Middleweight World Titles against Tori Nelson (17-0-3, 2 KO کی).
Fredrickson, ڈبلیو بی اے کوئی. 8 ranked fighter at 140 پاؤنڈ, will take on power-puncher Ergashev in the former’s first fight since claiming the WBA Fedebol Super Lightweight title on Nov. 1, 2017 in Medellin, کولمبیا. The highly anticipated fight is part of a tripleheader event promoted by Salita Promotions. And while Ergashev is with Salita Promotions, there is no doubt who the “A-Side” of this fight is as the fast rising Fredrickson looks to solidify his position as one of the top contenders at Junior Welterweight and make himself a television regular.
“I am excited to make my ShoBox پہلی فلم, and look forward to putting on a good show for the fans at Turning Stone and everyone watching on TV, especially all my family and fans back in Toledo, اوہائیو” Fredrickson said. “I know Ergashev is tough and he will be coming to fight, but I’ve trained very hard. I had a great camp and I am looking to make a statement. I’m very appreciative of SHOWTIME for this platform.” I had a number of television opportunities fall through because fighters pulled out so I’m happy my time has finally come. امید ہے کہ, Ergashev doesn’t get hurt before جمعہ, but once the fight starts I can’t promise anything.”
رک ٹوریس, وکٹری اسپورٹس کے صدر, feels that this fight will give Fredrickson exposure to a wider audience that may not be familiar with him.
“We feel Sonny is one of the best kept secrets in all of boxing and we’re excited that the rest of the world will get to see what we already know – that Sonny Fredrickson is the future of the 140-pound division,” Torres said. “Sonny has not gotten the TV exposure of other fighters, but we know that, given the chance, he will not disappoint. We are very grateful to SHOWTIME and Gordon Hall for making this happen and for the support of Sonny’s promoter Roc Nation Sports.”
Mike Leanardi, COO of Victory Sports, sees an opportunity for Fredrickson to follow in the footsteps of another Victory Sports fighter that started on ShoBox.
“ShoBox is the premier platform today for showcasing and developing young fighters,”Leanardi said. “We’ve seen the impact ShoBox can have firsthand with [former Super Middleweight and Former Light Heavyweight World Champion] سے Badou جیک. We’re confident that Sonny can achieve great success as well.”
